The aim: Is to investigate the dynamics of the morphofunctional development and physical health of students who were engaged in strength sports while studying at university.
Materials and methods: The study involved 360 male students of different faculties between the ages of 17 and 20. Two groups of students were formed: experimental and
control groups. The EG students (n=40) were engaged in strength sports (powerlifting, athletics, Crossfit); the CG students (n=320) were training according to the current
program of physical education. The study of the morphofunctional development of students was carried out taking account of the indicators of body length, body weight,
handgrip test, heart rate, blood pressure, and vital capacity. The level of students’ health was examined according to the methodology of the assessment of the physical health
level by G. L. Apanasenko.
Results: It was established that strength sports at university affect physical development, functional abilities of the major systems of an organism, and the health state of
future doctors in a more efficient way than the current program of physical education. It was found that the influence on the indicators of handgrip test, vital capacity, and
heart rate of the EG students was the most prominent positive effect of sports. The evaluation of the calculated indexes (power index, life index) and the level of physical health
confirmed this trend.
Conclusions: The conducted research asserts the necessity of introducing the sports-oriented form of the physical training organization at the medical higher education
institutions of Ukraine to strengthen the students’ health and to maintain the efficiency of the future doctors’ professional activity.
The effectiveness of the process of the physical education of students largely depends on the teacher of physical education, one’s competence, pedagogical skills, personal qualities, managerial capacity, and so on. The article is devoted to the study of psychological and pedagogical characteristics of a teacher in the process of physical education of students. The study was conducted in 2012-2022. 1323 students (528 males and 795 females) took part in the research. A survey of students was used to study their assessment of physical education teachers. The study of the relationship between students and teachers in the process of physical education showed that the relationship of respect is prevailing – 72.5 %, the relationship of familiarity is quite common – 13.6 %, despondency accounts for 10.4 %, there are also cases of advances (3.0 %) and flattery – 0.5%. It was found that 59.6 % of students prefer friendly relations with the teacher when the teacher is in the role of senior, a smaller proportion of students (30.9 %) prefer friendly relations and only 7.5 % prefer formal and 2.0 % – strict and inaccessible in physical and health-improving classes. The effectiveness of the impact on students depends largely on the authority of the teacher, one’s characterological, personal qualities, and managerial capacity, among which the most important are professionalism, pedagogical skill, experience, outlook, honesty, justice, patience, appearance, endurance.
